city and town life

A city-dwelling mouse carries a slice of pizza on a subway and delivers it to his family in this easy-to-read book.

Text and color illustrations explore different kinds of communities, including city life and relationships with neighbors and other people who work and live there.

A young rabbit child is carried home in the arms of her mother through their window-lighted city. She sees people in their jobs or just leaving them, and as she is tucked into bed, her imagination wonders about what everyone she saw on the way home is doing just before bed.

American Mimi Schwartz grew up on her father's stories about life in a small village in Germany where, before Hitler, "everybody got along." She never took the stories seriously. Many years later she heard a story of the Torah, from that very same village, being rescued by Christians on Kristallnacht in 1938. It was then that Schwartz realized what her father's stories meant, and she began a twelve-year quest to search the historical records and talk with those who remembered that time. How, this book asks, do we deal with evil and remain humane, when, as in the Nazi years, hate rules?.

Die-cut pages look at city life, focusing on a high-rise building, the subway, hailing a taxing, and taking the bus.
